Part 541

General remarks

Footnotes, tables and illustrations have been moved outside text paragraphs.

Several obvious minor typographical and punctuation errors (including missing and incorrect punctuation) have been corrected silently when this correction would not change the meaning of the text. Some dashes that were used to fill out justified text in the source document’s narrow columns have been removed. Several erroneously repeated words have been deleted.

In some of the tables, ditto marks (or blank spaces, periods and dashes etc. acting as such) have been replaced with the dittoed text or data. Some tables and table entries have been split or otherwise re-arranged for better readability.

Global changes and standardisations

In the source document some of the keywords are printed on top of each other, with braces combining them:

KEYWORD1,} Explanatory text. KEYWORD2,}

Where possible, this presentation has been standardised to the usual in-line lay-out for this text document:

KEYORD1, KEYWORD2, Explanatory text.

The indications of the source language and their italics mark-up have been standardised (Fr. to Fr., etc.); cheval- and chevaux-de-frize (and variants) have been standardised to cheval-de-frize and chevaux-de-frize (with otherwise unchanged spelling); seige(s) has been standardised to siege(s); frustrum(s) was standardised to frustum(s). A period has been added after the Roman ordinal in regnal names etc. where this was not present. Various ways in which numerical fractions (for example, 1/2, 1-2, ½) were printed have been standardised to ¹⁄₂.
